Llech-knant-Qenebal Sheridan has addressed a letter to General Sherman in which be re views the Indian situation with especial reference to the severe criticisms that have ' keen bestowed upon him and the army uuder bis command, for the recent attack upoa the Piegan Indians. This letter sets forth the difficulties of the subject, from an army poiut of view, in a plain, direct, and forcible manner, and the statements of the Liert-tenant-General are well worthy of the con sideration of all who are interested in our In dian affairs, or who desire that some effectual means shall be devised for putting an end to '. the contests between the white race ami the aboriginal savages. The General complains bitterly that he and his soldiers are abused .'no matter what policy they may adopt. If they allow defenseless people on the . frontier to. be scalped and ravished, they are, he says, burnt in effigy and execrated as soulless monsters insensible to the suffer ings of humanity; while if the Indians are puu- ' ished to give seourity to the people, the soldiers are denounced as the same soulless monsters - by another class of critics. This is certainly : a pretty acourate description of the position ia which Sheridan and the men under bis ' command find themselves, and we think that most persons will be inclined to sustain the General in his determination to stand by tho people whom the Government has sent him to protect. According to General Sheridan's statement, . be has in his command at least five thousand milos of frontier settlements, and his chief and only duty is to give protection to tho families residing on these long lines against the outrages of Indians. The Government has invited these settlers by opening lands to them for pre-emption and improvement, aud it is bound to protect them to the utmost of its power. There id not a day, from one year's end to the other, that these families ' are exempt from the fearful thought of being . murdered in the most fiendish manner the men scalped, the women ravished, and the brains of the children dashed out. Since 1862 at least 1200 persons have mot this fate, . and the alternative is forced upon tho mili tary commander of choosing whether he skill , regard their appeals, or allow them to be butchered in order to save himself from the hue and cry of people who know not the Indians, and whose families have not the fear, morning, noon, and night, of being scalped and ravished by them. The General reminds those who are inclined to censure him that the wife of the man at the centre of wealth, civilization, and refine ment is not more dear to him than is the wife of the pioneer of the frontier; and that, so far as he is concerned, he intends to ex tend the protection of the military arm of tho Government to the best of his ability. There are not enough troops on the frontier to place a separate garrison at each man's house, and it is sometimes necessary to take the offen sive and to punish crimes already committed, in order to prevent the perpetration of othors. General Sheridan has never been esteemed other than a humane man, and he is enli tied to belief when he expresses a regret that under the pressure of any necessity women and children should be killed. The army, however, Is obliged to take the offensive at the season when the Indians can be caught, and it would prevent any offensive military operations whatever if the fact that the ravages have women and children with them must be taken into consideration before com mencing an attack. The General says that during the war for the suppression of the Ua bellion we did not hesitate to attack a village or town because women or children wore within the lines, and that, so far as the In dians are concerned, the women often fight with greater fury than the men. He contends that the soldiers do not want to kill the In dians, and we believe that he is not far from the truth when be asserts that they are the only good, practical friends that the savages have. With regard to confining the Indians on reservations, the General contends that the only way to get them there is by force, and that they will have to be kept there by the presenoe of troops. The troops are necessary not only to keep the Indians within bounds, but to prevent the encroachments of settlers. Last year, as son as the soldiers were with drawn from the Sac and Fox reservations, the emigrants took possession, and a flood of emigration, almost ton thousand strong, moved in solid mass, and ooenpiod the Osag reservation because there were no troops to keep them off. 1 The truth of this statement no one will probably deny, and it exhibts in a striking manner the difficulties of the situation with which the army has to deal. We are more than ever convinced from this Hot ter of General Sheridan that the only true policy for the Government to adopt is to compel the savages to go upon reservations at all hazards, by force if they will not go by fair means. When once located they must be penned in by the military and protected from encroachments by the whites. They must be supplied with the means of cultivating the ground, and then, if they will not work for their living, as other men are compelled to do, they must be left to their own resources until tho pangs of hunger force them to make some effort in their own behalf. With the in creasing tide of emigration the necessity for a speedy settlement of the Indian question is pressed upon the attention of the Govern ment, and while true humanity must never be lost sight of, measures of severity will un doubtedly have to be adopted if any satisfac tory solution of the Indian problem is to be arrived at, and if years of bloodshed and out rage are to be spared. TUB REVIVAL OF AMERICAN COMMERCE. Thk message sent by the President to Congress yesterday, which he terms "an earnest plea" for such action as will "insure the increase of American com merce," will heighten the publio interest in this important subject. The extent of the decline in our shipping interests during the present decade is almost incredible. Up to 1800 the American tonnage had steadily in creased with a rapidity unparalleled in mari time history. Our registered tonnage was nearly equal to that of Great Britain, the dif ference in hor favor being only a little more than half a million of tons, and as matters were then progressing there was a fair pros pect that we should soon surpass her. From 1861 to 1808, however, our tonnage declined more than a million of tons, while the British tonnage was increased by tho addition of more than a million of tons, and now she has nearly three times as much tonnage engaged in foreign trade as the Vnited States. As a practical result, we are compelled (in the langunge of the message) "to pay from twenty to thirty millions of dollars annually, exclusive of passage money, which we should share with the vessels of other nations, to foreigners, for work which should bo done by American-owned and American-manned vessels." , The causes of this decline are numerous. Ono of the most important is tho insidious course pursued by Great Britain during the llobellion. Her ship-owners, jealous of the skill, aotivity, and sucoess of their American j rivals, saw ia the war a loug-covetod oppor tunity to strike a deadly blow at dangerous competitors; and they improved it to the utmost. While the Alabama, Shenandoah, and other liebel piratical cruisers were nomi nally fitted out with English money and Eng lish armaments to fight the battles of Jeff. Davis, their real mission was to fight the old battle of John Bull for supremacy on the ocean, and they succeeded in doing a thousand fold more for the spiteful English ship-owners than for the treacherous and deluded people of the Confederacy. In a direct war with Great Britain we would have returned blow for blow, which would have equalized losses; but by her contemptible and cow ardly policy American commerce was made the sole sufferer. While each merchantman, as it was driven from tho ocean, covered Homines and his infamous compeers with disgrace, British ship-owners joyfully hailed each act of destruction as a triumph redound ing to their immediate benefit. Another cause of the decline of our ship ping interests is no doubt to be found in the diminution of our exports, more especially of cotton. The quantity sent abroad since the war is scarcely half as great as the amount exported previous to 1861, and this decline has caused, in itself, a great diminution in the demand for American vessels. Beyond these causes the rapid substitution of steamers for sailing vessels, and tho con temporaneous neglect of our authorities to recognize and provide for this fact, have exer cised a powerful influence against us. Great Britain and the commercial nations of the Continent, foreseeing the approaching change, were prompt to seoure all the advantages to be derived from it, by granting liberal sub sidies to such companies as were willing and able to establish steam lines on important routes, while the American Government neglected or refused to adopt a similar policy. This difference, in itself, places the United States at a fatal disadvantage, and if it is not destroyed all efforts to restore our commer cial prestige will be abortive. The Special Committee on Navigation In terests, whose report is referred to and en dorsed by the President, disousses the im portance of subsidizing steam lines, and it states that it would "bo a matter of economy if our Government should build vessels adapted to the nsos of commerce in time of peace, and readily convertible into fighting ships in time of war, giving the free use of such ships in time of peace to merchants who would take care of and use them until re quired for the national defense." If moans can be devised to carry out this policy in a just and equitable manner, and to make it faithfully serve a great publio end without contributing in an undue degree to the en richment of a few private individuals, Con gress should adopt it at once. There is money enough squandered on the navy to speedily restore our deoaying shipping interests, and our statesmen should be honest and wise enough to devise methods to render the inevi table naval expenditures a source of imme diate and direct gain to the people. There is, perbapR, no other method in, which an ade quate amount of aid cun be granted with out undue oppression of tax-payers, and, although the proper regulation of this subject involves ninny difficulties, we believe that by earnest effort they could be surmounted. The bills roported by the special committee provide that foreign materials med in the construction of American ships shiill be im ported free of duty, that a slight bounty shall be paid to Americon vessels running to foreign ports, and that Strite and municipal harbor dupg and pilotage fees shall be abro gated. These provisions will, at best, grant only petty aid, whon great assistance is needed; and it is vain to expeot that they will, in themselves, secure the attainment of the desired end. If Congress is really anxious and determined to revive tho shipping in terest, let it go to work in dead earnest, and put this whole subject on a footing that will insure the construction of an abundance of American ships out of American material.
